Examining How Academic Subscribers Implement Alcohol eCHECKUP to GO
BACKGROUND: Colleges and universities use various prevention and intervention programs to address high-risk drinking among their students. Alcohol eCHECKUP TO GO is one of the most popular programs to address this risk, with strong empirical support. However, it is unclear how the context of the efficacy studies aligns with the context of typical use. OBJECTIVES: The current study examined how institutions are implementing Alcohol eCHECKUP TO GO …
An exploratory analysis of drinking motives and alcohol-related problems among Hispanic college students
The increase in college enrollment for Hispanic college students warrants increased attention to their health and wellness. Given that a common threat to health and well-being in college students is alcohol use and that Hispanic college students are at elevated risk for alcohol-related problems, it is essential to investigate factors that might lead to heightened alcohol-related problems among this population. The present study is a secondary dat…
Criterion Validity of Protective Behavioral Strategies for Alcohol Consumption among College Students
BACKGROUND: Protective behavioral strategies (PBS), or behaviors used to reduce harm associated with alcohol use, are often associated with lower levels of alcohol consumption, lower engagement in high-risk drinking behaviors, and fewer alcohol-related consequences. Although the majority of studies have found significant associations between higher PBS use and lower consumption or consequences, some studies have found nonsignificant or even posit…
Values of College Students Mandated to an Alcohol Intervention
Background: Personal values motivate action and have been shown to influence behavioral choices. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify which values are important to college student drinkers and what underlying principles and motivations support those values. A sample of 198 students who received a university mandate to complete an alcohol education intervention following a campus alcohol policy violation wrote essays r…
Partner Type and Young Women’s Sexual Behavior
Location-Specific Social Norms and Personal Approval of Alcohol Use are Associated with Drinking Behaviors in College Students
Background: Prior research on risky alcohol use points to drinking norms as predictors of drinking behavior. Most research to date has only explored global (versus context-specific) drinking norms as they relate to general drinking behavior. To better understand risky drinking behavior in students, how norms may vary across drinking environments should be considered. Objectives: We sought to explore differences in drinking norms (descriptive and …
Intersections between young women’s racial/ethnic identities and sexual orientation on rates of sexual violence and substance use
SMW exhibit increased risk for sexual violence and substance use, and victimization was associated with heavy alcohol use. Few racial/ethnic differences emerged as a function of sexual orientation, so SMW are a group with unique needs around sexual violence experiences and substance use, regardless of race/ethnicity. Healthcare providers should be aware of the link between substance use and prior victimization when treating SMW
A Brief Clinic-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Misuse and Sexual Risk Behavior in Young Women
Contribution of health motives to cannabis use among college students
Background: The Marijuana Motives Measure (MMM) is commonly used to explore the role of motives in cannabis use and related problems. A recent study suggested that a new Health motives subscale (using cannabis to improve sleep, form, energy, appetite, health) was the strongest motive associated with problematic use among high-school students. The aim of our study was to examine the predictive value of Health motives for cannabis use among college…
The impact of social support and partner relationship dynamics on engagement in HIV care and antiretroviral treatment adherence among MSM in Latin America
In Latin America (LA), HIV prevalence among MSM is estimated at thirty times greater than in the general male population. Little is known about the role of social support or disclosure status in relation to the HIV care continuum among LA MSM. Using multivariable logistic generalized estimation equations, we assessed the impact of social support satisfaction and disclosure status on engagement in HIV care, ART initiation, and ART adherence with d…
Examining neighborhood and interpersonal norms and social support on fruit and vegetable intake in low-income communities
To our knowledge, no other studies have examined neighborhood, family, and peer norms and social support simultaneously and in relation to F&V intake. These findings may inform neighborhood interventions and community-level policies to reduce neighborhood disparities in F&V consumption
Alcohol Use and Sexual Risk Behavior in Young Women
The Association Between Sexual Behavior and Affect
Sexual behavior is associated with increased positive affect and decreased negative affect. However, contextual variables such as partner type, behavior type, and condom use may moderate these associations. The goal of the present research was to examine these contextual moderators using monthly longitudinal data from a sample of young women. Female first-year college students (N = 477) completed monthly assessments of their sexual behaviors and …
Student service members/veterans on campus
Many returning OIF/OEF/OND Veterans are seeking higher education in an effort to develop a meaningful career and financial stability. Evidence suggests that student service members/veterans (SSM/Vs) are experiencing less academic success than other students. The purpose of this review is to identify the unique challenges of SSM/Vs and evaluate current campus efforts to facilitate their retention and academic performance. With a focus on SSM/Vs at…

Does perceived life stress mediate the association between HIV status and alcohol use? Evidence from adults living in Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa has the highest prevalence of HIV in the world. Because living with HIV is stressful and because alcohol consumption is often used to cope with stress, we examined whether stress mediates the association between HIV status and alcohol use among adults residing in South African townships. Field workers approached pedestrians or patrons of informal alcohol-serving venues (i.e., shebeens) and invited their participation in a survey. Of …
Female College Students’ Media Use and Academic Outcomes
This longitudinal study describes women’s media use during their first year of college and examines associations between media use and academic outcomes. Female students ( N = 483, M age = 18.1 years) reported on their use of 11 media forms and their grade point average (GPA), academic behaviors, academic confidence, and problems affecting schoolwork. Allowing for multitasking, women reported nearly 12 hr of media use per day; use of texting, mus…
HIV testing is associated with increased knowledge and reductions in sexual risk behaviours among men in Cape Town, South Africa
HIV testing benefits those who test positive, allowing them to receive treatment, but the benefits for those who test negative remain controversial. We evaluated the impact of testing on HIV knowledge and sexual risk among men in South Africa. Men were recruited from townships outside Cape Town and completed a survey that assessed testing history, knowledge, and sexual behaviours. Among the 820 participants, 516 (63%) reported being tested (82% t…
Multidimensional Assessment of Religiousness/Spirituality and Health Behaviors in College Students
Research has demonstrated a positive relation between particular religious/spiritual variables and health behaviors and outcomes. However, recent conceptualizations of religiousness/spirituality (R/S) and health acknowledge the multidimensionality of both constructs. Consequently, it is important to study these constructs in ways that allow for simultaneous consideration of their multiple dimensions and then determine relations between the latent…
Sexual Hookups and Adverse Health Outcomes
Hookups" are sexual encounters between partners who are not in a romantic relationship and do not expect commitment. We examined the associations between sexual hookup behavior and depression, sexual victimization (SV), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among first-year college women. In this longitudinal study, 483 women completed 13 monthly surveys assessing oral and vaginal sex with hookup and romantic partners, depression, SV, and se…

Do Alcohol and Marijuana Use Decrease the Probability of Condom Use for College Women
Alcohol and marijuana use are thought to increase sexual risk taking, but event-level studies conflict in their findings and often depend on reports from a limited number of people or on a limited number of sexual events per person. With event-level data from 1,856 sexual intercourse events provided by 297 college women (M age = 18 years; 71% White), we used multilevel modeling to examine associations between alcohol and marijuana use and condom …
Changes in Women's Condom Use over the First Year of College
Most college students are sexually active, engage in serially monogamous relationships, and use condoms inconsistently. Little is known about how condom use changes during college, and even less about variables predicting changes in use. Latent growth modeling (LGM) was used to examine changes in condom use during the first year of college among 279 women (mean age = 18.0; 74% White), who provided monthly reports on condom use frequency. At study…
Psychometric Examination of the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality Among College Students
Resurgent interest in the relations between religiousness/spirituality (R/S) and health is evident in the scientific literature but much of the research fails to capture the proposed multidimensional nature of R/S. This problematic situation is compounded by the existence of a plethora of measures mostly lacking substantial empirical or even theoretical support. The Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) was develope…
Predicting Condom Use among STD Clinic Patients Using the Information - Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model
We assessed determinants of condom use postulated by the IMB model among STD patients ( N = 1474). The model provided acceptable fit to the data (CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = .04). Information was unrelated to condom use but had a negative effect on behavioral skills. Motivation had a positive effect on behavioral skills and condom use. Behavioral skills had a positive effect on condom use. In multiple-groups analyses, stronger associations between motiva…

Relationship between Religiousness and Trait Anxiety
Previous research with conservative Christians has examined the relationship between religious orientation and trait anxiety. Typically, such studies have shown that intrinsically oriented persons experience lower trait anxiety than do their extrinsically oriented peers. The present study extends this line of research by investigating a religiously heterogeneous sample and by analyzing the interactive effects of religious orientation and sex. In …

Assessing sexual risk behaviour with the Timeline Followback (TLFB) approach
This paper describes a series of 4 studies, designed to provide evidence of the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the Timeline Followback (TLFB) method when used to assess sexual risk behaviour with psychiatric outpatients. This population was selected because patients often have difficulty completing assessments of sexual risk behaviours due to deficits in attention, memory, and communication skills. All 4 studies demonstrated the feasib…
Implementing Dual Diagnosis Services for Clients With Severe Mental Illness
After 20 years of development and research, dual diagnosis services for clients with severe mental illness are emerging as an evidence-based practice. Effective dual diagnosis programs combine mental health and substance abuse interventions that are tailored for the complex needs of clients with comorbid disorders. The authors describe the critical components of effective programs, which include a comprehensive, long-term, staged approach to reco…
Peer influences on college drinking
Descriptive and injunctive norms in college drinking
OBJECTIVE: Many college students overestimate both the drinking behaviors (descriptive norms) and the approval of drinking (injunctive norms) of their peers. As a result, consistent self-other discrepancies (SODs) have been observed, in which self-perceptions of drinking behaviors and approval of drinking usually are lower than comparable judgments of others. These SODs form the foundation of the currently popular "social norms approach" to alcoh…
